> If someone proposes to me that murder isn't ethical, I can more-or-less get on board with that without a bunch of defining and qualifying.

I think "murder" is an excellent example for making your main point. Because even that term would need further qualifications about euthanasia, abortion, capital punishment, etc.

Murder is by definition unlawful. Homicide is the term that would include euthanasia, abortion, execution.

Unless those things are unlawful. In which case they would be murder in addition to homicide.
